Under the plan, Aetna customers will get these additional benefits at CVS:

  • $0 copay at in-network walk-in clinics, including MinuteClinic;
  • 20% off select CVS Health-branded health and wellness products;
  • Access to Aetna National Pharmacy Network, CVS Specialty pharmacy and Coram home infusion services;
  • Free CVS Pharmacy 1- to 2-day delivery on eligible prescriptions and select retail items;
  • Access to specialty drugs through CVS Specialty medicine and support services.
